Makeup colors for skin tone

If Bobbi Brown could sneak into your house and refill your cosmetics bag, here's what she'd stash in it: "For day, you want two shadows: a matte, pale one swept from the lashes to the brow bone to brighten, and a medium tone dusted on your lids for definition. Then put on blush—it should look like your cheeks were pinched—and a sheer lipcolor that's a touch brighter than your natural hue." For evening, kick it up a bit. "Use a metallic or colorful shadow; creams are great for a smoky, smudgy effect. Then add a rich matte lipstick." Snap, you're done.
